'The Last of Us' New Mulitplayer

It was just a few days ago actually that i had posted why you shouldn't miss 'The Last of Us' multiplayer and now there giving us even more reason not to miss out on it with a new (free) dlc for another multiplayer mode. Currently there are only two modes with Supply Raid and Survivor now we have the introduction of Interrogation mode.

As i am a big fan of The Last of Us online this just gets me even more excited and the mode does sound pritty damn cool. Basically, the interrogation mode comes down to the usual 2 teams; one team protecting a safe and another trying to break into the safe, assuming its a safe full of supplies for your clan. So what they attackers have to do to find the location of this safe, is to interrogate 5 members of the opposing team to get enough information to find the safe. When the team has located the safe it really turns into a basic death match to kill the other players and get to the safe and get the supplies.

The interrogations themselves are said to be like special execution kills but will take a longer time to actually perform, meaning if you're caught in the act it'll be rather easy to kill you. What im interested in though is how this will work with the end result. For example the modes just now, even if you lose and die so many times, you can still walk away with enough supplies for your clan to survive. I would like to think, if this is a safe full of supplies the losing team would walk away with nothing meaning there clan will lose members making this mode much more tactical than the others as winning is the key factor.

This mode in my opinion works brilliantly with the game and im really excited for it to come out and think most fans of the multiplayer will no doubt be pleased with what naughty dog are bringing to the franchise.

Are you excited for more of 'The Last of us'? and are you hoping for a story mode dlc? let me know in the comments.

Why you shouldn't miss 'The Last of Us' multiplayer

'The Last of Us' obviously is no doubt the biggest release this year and debated one of the best exclusives on PlayStation to date. With its moving story and amazing character development throughout it truely has merited that accolade to say the least. But after its brilliant story mode that will leave you in shock,have you in tears and leave your jaw firmly placed on the floor for days, you really shouldnt stop the game there.

Most would suspect that with great story based games comes a lazy, repetitive and tiresome mulitplayer and its seen with a number of games, that the online just doesn't cut it. With the likes of Uncharted, Tomb Raider, God of War and more, all bringing outstanding gameplay mechanics and great storylines for the player to experience, but companies are adamant on adding a poor quality online mode that seem like its just been made for the sake of it. Online modes that just dont do the game justice, bringing nothing new to the table making it something we all just overlook.

The Last of Us online takes things to a whole new level of brilliance. It something new, different, innotave and stands along side with the story as an absolute treat that you shouldnt miss. What makes The Last of Us online so special is that it brings a severe tension for your own survival. Most games you run about like a headless chicken shooting everything in site and running rampage. This is something you cannot do in The Last of Us.

Whats nice about the multiplayer is that it brings a story to your cause. Its not just heres the map, these are the bad guys kill everyone. You have a specific purpose. You choose between a survivor or a firefly and you are given your own clan. This clan is completely AI and you never actually see them but you have to care for them and the game makes it brilliantly that you genuinely care about them. Pete is making toast, awww Pete what ye like. It notifies you what your group are doing while surviving in the camp, letting you know how many are healthy,hungry or sick. So what you have to do is go on supply raids and collect, well, supplies to feed your group and grow your clan. The more survivors you have the more supplies you'll need to get. To get these supplies you enter a 4v4 death match basically and you can collect supplies that are scattered across the map and kill the opposing team members stealing their supplies. If you dont get enough supplies for your group they begin to get hungry then sick and become infected killing off a number of people in your group ... Katie is eating the corpse of Pete, FUCK SAKE KATIE!

Giving more purpose in the game, there is a number of tasks you have to do to avoid deaths within your clan. An example, a massive pack of fireflys are passing by your camp, so now as well as getting supplies in the matches you must either, get between 3-9 downs, revive 5-15 team mates and so on. If you fail to succeed in these tasks, a large percentage of your clan will die. This adds a bigger purpose in the matches you play and again giving you more meaning to the game than just kill the other guys. With The Last of Us you really are fighting for your survival.

As i said, you cant go running around gun blazing here as if you die you're basically giving the opposin team supplies and you're losing your chance to keep your clan healthy. Because of this fact you really do fear for your own life. The game focuses a lot on stealth, movement and catching your opponent off guard. However if you are caught and shot down, you will be left crawling on the ground looking for a team mate to help you before you die. This aspect adds a great sense of danger as you try to crawl away and the opponent chases you down slamming you to the ground and smashing your face with a gun, leaving you in rage and will have you screaming for your life, it really is something extraordinary.


To win and get all the supplies you need you will have to be patient, crafty and smart to out wit your opponent. As, like in the story, you can craft certain items, online is no different you have to find the parts across the map to create bombs and medikits to help you survive and in doing so really creates a special kind of online experience.

 Just like the story it will have you tense throughout the whole match, fearing for, not only your own life, but others within your clan and it is an experience you do not want to miss. So if you have The Last of Us, completed the story or not, multiplayer is something you have to try for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

What do you want to see?

Ive only been doing this for 2 months really now and trying to do as much as i can with reviews etc but id like to hear some feedback from the little people that read this blog.

I will be putting up a poll and i want you to decide which posts youd like to see. The content would be between the following;

The Last of Us Online -  Ive played a few games of this and its something that im really getting into. There are two game types of Survivor and Supply Raid. The basis of mulitplayer is to create a clan each game you get food and supplies to increase the number of people in your camp to avoid poeple getting sick or hungry and there are also a number of challenge to do within the games 12 week period. Survivor has no respawns and its basicallly 4 on 4 death match and to kill every enemy with a number of round. Supply raid is to collect as much food and supplies to try and grow your clan day by day. So the content il being will be how i play and perform and anything exciting that goes on really.

Fifa Pro Clubs -  I play this a lot and have a team with another one of my friends. This content will have the ups and downs and we try and win cup matches and progress in our leagues to get to the division one. This can contain trolling and screamers and i will try and get as much exciting stuff in as i can. And if possible low quality video of saved goals.


The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game Series -  This is a beloved game and has had heaps and heaps of praise and its something ive really wanted to get into as ive only played the first episode. It will basically be a walkthrough of each episode and what happens in each but it is definitely something il be getting and it is full of story and twists with a number of choices you can make as a character so it may be something you're interested in.

Other?  Any suggestions from your wonderful self would be appreciated if there anything youd like to see please let me know in the comments and it can be anything for the Ps3 as that is the only console i play. But yeah any suggestions will be considered as well.


As i said i have only been doing this for 2 months and im reasonably happy with the views ive had on the blog counting just over a thousand. So if you do read these please share and post your thoughts on reviews and anything else i do it is as always appreciated.

Thanks for reading

The Last of Us Review

The day has finally come, the chance for us all to play 'The Last of Us' and its something you definitely do not want to miss.

The Last of us really is something special, with a story that is compelling and beautiful with an amazing supporting cast that will give you an experience you wont forget.  It is nothing short of brilliant and it will have you engaged from the first second and throughout expressing a number of emotions in the process.The story has twists and turns that you will never expect leaving you astonished, shocked and near in tears with each piece of story tugging at your heart strings. You can feel every emotion of every turn; hatred, joy, sadness and you can really sense the feeling of fear that the characters have within this world. The amount of shocking events that happen in the game will leave your jaw firmly placed on the ground. Then there's the connection between Joel and Ellie which is heart felt to say the least. Each moment these characters converse together and everything they go through will take your breath away, leaving you anxious and nervous for their outcome.

"  ... Immediatly make you feel connected to Joel."









Now, this is something that goes missing within games, a real connection for the characters and it is in this aspect that 'The Last of Us' excels. From the outset you are put into a crazy world that will immediately make you feel connected to Joel and you will understand and correspond with his actions throughout the game. You know exactly why he is so connected to Ellie and you feel his emotions of pain and sorrow, as you start to get involved in Joels world. You begin to feel the same connection that Joel has for Ellie and this is magnificently presented throughout the whole of the game. A game that creates a sense of protection and caring for the characters that isn't usually seen in today's industry. However it is not just Joel's story it is also Ellie's story. Ellie is the key fact to the emotion of the story in the sense that everything she does creates a new emotion in Joel and the full experience really will have you torn up from start to finish.

The story isnt the only gem within the game, throughout you will encounter 4 types of enemies; the living, the infected,clickers and bloaters. The way in which you encounter these enemies is fantastic and you have to adapt your fighting styles to beat each enemy. It is very well designed how you deal with each enemy and you will have to adapt accordingly,  as it can go from high intensity gun fights to immediate stealth within just a few seconds. As bullets throughout are scarce it is the stealth that is key in creating a brilliant and tense affair. You will have to sneak by enemies and clickers in order to survive and this adds great tension every time. It again relates back to the connection of characters and you genuinely feel the fear that these characters have of trying not being found. The fighting can also be very satisfying as you punch you way through enemies with Joel interacting with the world flawlessly smashing enemies heads with the surroundings and it looks gruesomely slick.

" ... you will be in awe from the scenes that you encounter."





These surroundings are portrayed in a world that is astonishing and you will be in awe from the scenes that  you encounter. As you play through the apocalyptic world you are constantly doing something that engages your interest even when walking there can be explosion or screams from infected or living. The interactions in the game gets you involved so much within every aspect. As you wander, Tess and Ellie communicate constantly and its always interesting to hear what they say, never being  too much to get on your nerves, it is subtle but everything they say keeps you engaged and involved throughout the whole campaign. As stated the interactions are sublime in the game and how Joel interacts with the world that surrounds you is realism at its best. If you want to use a medikit you have to go into your bag take it out and wrap it round yourself to heal and this adds intensity within the game as you have to craft a number of things to use to your advantage and for your survival. You can also create upgrades to your weapons, although this aspect seemed lost with myself as when upgrading guns it didn't seem to make much difference with combat as i expected.

As the surroundings are so wonderful you cant help but explore them and this is exactly what Naughty Dog intended for us to do. There are a number of places and rooms you can roam when on a mission and this helps you find parts, weapons, food and all supplies you need to survive but that's not all. As you open up drawers and cupboards looking for that rag to create a petrol bomb you can come across some outstanding things such as letters of other survivors. This aspect really is something special as they are notes and letters from other survivors of their struggles and traumatizing events. Every piece you find you will stop to make the time to read it and find out something amount a character you don't even know and you feel that pain, it really is something special and fits perfectly with this apocalyptic world.

As you explore and run through the world you will enjoy every second of it. There is nothing you wont love about The Last of Us. It has a gripping story, brilliant game mechanics and high intense moments throughout that will have you on the edge of your seat. I honestly can not fault the game. This is a game that you do not want to miss and is a must buy for any Ps3 owners. So if you are a Ps3 owner and don't have the game, why are you still reading this? Go get it.

                                                               
                                                                     100 out of 100

E3: Microsoft Vs Sony

Now as E3 has finished the conversation between the console war is hotter than ever, but what did each company display at there conferences and what has us excited for each console and what aspects of the consoles make us want to buy them. Here i will  breakdown how each conference differed and some good selling points.






E3 kicked off with microsoft. Now a lot of people may have wanted some answered to various aspects of restrictions and games, enough of the tv aspect and show us games. And i think Xbox fans wouldn't have been disappointed in what they were presented with.

Firstly they came out to tell us though that there is a new xbox 360 model coming out and that Xbox live gold members will be getting 2 free games every month, similar to what Playstation do with some games for there plus members.

They then went on to discuss the Xbox one, stating that they will not be using Microsoft points but in standard currency for the likes of DLC's. They also discussed how you interact with the console and how you can view other players progress in real time. Also the console records some of your gameplay and also upload Live what your playing to Twitch tv which is an awesome feature for people who love to show off there gaming skills.

Games, this is where Microsoft surprisingly delivered showcasing a number of exclusive games. Now i wont go through them all in detail but i have produced a list of the games they showed.

• New Halo
• Titan Fall
• Ryse: son of rome
• sunset overdrive
• killer instinct
• Forza
• Quantam Break
• D4
• Crimson Dragon
• Project Spark

Microsoft showed some demos and trailers for these exclusive also presenting some exclusive contents for the mulitplatform games such as Battlefield 4. Now there is quite a number of exclusives for Xbox one and will have Xbox fans buzzing as a new halo has been announced and beautifully creative games like project spark being announced will sure to excite gamers everywhere. The console will be available in November and is priced at £429.

Moving on to the Sony conference. First off the went on to showcase what the PsVita has to offer in its 2nd year of the market. It went on t discuss how its for indie developers and that 85 games this year will be presented and it discussed that remote play with the ps4 will i guess work? but that function will only show when the console is out. The games that were presented for the vita were the likes of Killzone, tearaway, god of war trilogy, Batman and games of flower and dead nation coming as well. Also a new bundle will be available with the first season of Telltales The walking dead game with the Vita console.

What was good about the sony conference was that they showed a lot of gameplay. And for the Ps3 it was no different essentially showing off the final games that will come this year. The gameplay that was shown was more of The last of us, the pupateer, Rain, Beyond two souls and Gran Turismo. It also went to show the multi platform games of Batman and GTA 5 showing off some exclusive content with each game and a new bundle for the GTA5.

Finally for what everyone was there for to see the Playstation 4. However they started off pritty slow. They discussed a number of times how they focus on fans and the content they produce is tailored for gamers then they went on to discuss music and video features. They told us about an exclusive program plan and movies will be available for rental. A number of features and apps that Xbox one presented in there reveal with the likes of netflix and flixter apps. A start that was not too much exciting. Only exicting part was they finally showed off the console which really looks very similar to the xbox one. As i saw someone state on twitter its xbox one in italics which is bang on.

They finally went on to the games and exclusive PS will have. Again i wont discuss them all but have produced a list of what they showed off. Making note each game showed actual gameplay.

• Killzone Shadow fall
• Infamous second son
• The Order 1886
• Drive Club
• Knack
• Dark Sorcerer
• Final Fantasy
• Kingdom of hearts

A few short of what Xbox presented at their conference and with 4 games from that line up already being shown some may be slightly dissapointed. However it was very nice to see atual gameplay of the games that definetly got gamers excited. They also went on to discuss some exclusive content to multi platforms with the like of watchdogs.

They again went on to discuss how there about the gamers and a console for developers and they got out a number of indie studios that are making there games exclusive to Ps4 which is nice for the people who live indie developed games. They also showed us a remake of Abes oddesy and any playstation fan will be drooling at this. Well i know i was, but i may just have been drooling as it was approaching 4 in the morning but still its exciting nonetheless.

They also presented gameplay of destiny but i will go in that more detail at a later date. All you need to know is it was awesome.

Finally they got down to some technical stuff but really it was as slow and agonizing dig at Microsoft to be honest. Ps4 will be supporting used games which is delightful news and what it should be in  essence when you buy a game you have all rights to do whatever you want with the game, sell it, trade it and share it with friends. No online connection is needed and you can play your games as you like online or offline with no checks for connection hinting at what microsoft have done, stating they wont be doing the same. This aspect of the console could differ on what people get. As casual gamers who love the games that come out for both consoles may side with the ps4 as when they buy the game they can do what they want with it really.
The Price of the Ps4 will be £349 but no announcement of the release date was made.

Still the feud between the consoles is strong and it will go on for years to come but it really does come down to preference in the end. Which exlcusive games will you enjoy more will persuade the gamers and really some die hard fans of microsoft and sony just wont change. Regardless of the console war Each console showcased the Next Gen consoles brilliantly really showing off what they have to offer. The Next Gen consoles are with us and they surely did not disappoint.

Which Consoles is for you? 

Thanks for reading and be sure to check later where i will discuss the games im most excited for, exclusively and mulitplatform

'The Last of Us' First Impressions Demo

As it is the most excited ive been for a game in a while i had to to get my hands on 'The Last of Us' Demo to experience what its going to be like and get some first impressions about the game.

The demo starts you off with Joel, Ellie and Tess as you venture into the apocalyptic world that naughty dog create which is terrifyingly brilliant . The objective is basically to explore a run down office block for supplies and from the outset it really does capture the pure emotion of fear. Joel is alarmed from the outset which displays the horror the characters have for their own survival in the world. As you explore the half destroyed building you have to sneak and fight the infected to get the supplies you desire and the game really displays the intensity throughout that will have you on the edge of your seat.  Even through the demo you will be presented with fear, intensity, craftiness and scenes that will have jumping from your seat.

 As expected the gameplay is similar to uncharted but not to the extent that you can climb massive scale buildings or anything like that its more of the combat side of things that is quite similar but not too similar that it just seems like a copy of uncharted. The combat of the game is very fun, you have little bullets to use that adds a sense of fear which on the wider scale of the actual game im sure will work fantastic with the theme of the game. You can also fight by punching or from a weapon you can find lying about and using this type of combat is very satisfying. As you punch your way through the infect Joel interacts with the surroundings with ease as you punch a few times then smash the infected head into a wall and it looks gruesomely slick. In the demo there are two types of infected you have the first stage that are the beginners of the infection that run at you at a fair pace and the latter stage that are called clickers. These type of infected cannot see and only notice you from their hearing, as described in the game like bats. You can lure these infected by throwing bricks and bottles and sneak past these enemies which is very intense.

 A nice touch to the game which creates a sense of realism within the world is how Joel interacts with objects. For instance with a medical kit you can find supplies to actually create the kit and as you do Joel will  crouch down open his bag and start making it.

Also when using a medical kit he will get the bandages out and slowly wrap them round his arms to heal himself. This mean within the game you will have to find good areas where you can do such things which im sure will add even more intensity when being attacked by the infected and other enemies.


So as i said i couldn't resist in downloading the demo and getting an impression of what the game is going to be like. And it was a BIG mistake as it has tortured me in being more pumped for the game and i cannot wait for the 14th of June even more now and i will hate myself for the days to come as i sit in anticipation for its release.

Play the short demo at your own risk.

Thanks for reading

The Last Of Us Finished?

Is the much anticipated game for the playstation 3 'The Last of Us' finally finished?

Well apparently so, as it was made aware on many gaming websites and through the instagram of Co-president of Naughty dog an image of the final produced line of code stating 'makedisc ship final'. This may mean that the game is finally going into the manufacturing process.

There has been much speculation about the game and it is easily the most anticipated game for Playstation this year, possibly next to 'Beyond two souls'. It was due to come out in May but this was later delayed till the 14th of June.

As stated it is one of the most anticipated games of the year for Ps3 and its definitly my most anticipated game for the Ps3 in a long time. Naughty Dog are sure to make this game outstanding with such games like the uncharted series to prove there worth in Ps3 exclusive market. It is clear from trailers of  'The Last of Us'  that it may play like uncharted and this definitely is not a bad thing as in my opinion uncharted is the best exclusive ps3 game to date. Hopefully 'The Last of Us' can change that.

The story is based on the two main characters Joel and a young girl, Ellie as they take a journey across the united states in a post-apocalyptic world. Where presumably they will encounter a number of threats from groups of other survivors and the infected.

The game is surely to be a hit and i cannot imagine it being a flop with a company like Naughty Dog behind it and i genuinely cannot wait to experience it.

I may attempt a review of the game when released which is due for the 14th of June. So are you excited for 'The Last of Us' let me know below !

Until Next time, ZebruhGaming.
